Summary
Switches the eval comparison from tail-window to compaction (what real tools actually do), fixes the compaction threshold, and updates marketing copy with honest numbers from a fresh head-to-head run.
Eval changes
Remove tail-window from default baselines (
run.ts)Nobody uses raw tail-window in production — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode all use compaction. Compaction is the honest baseline.
Fix compaction threshold (
baselines.ts)The first compaction was triggering at 80K total tokens. Real tools don't compact until ~140K (83.5% of the 200K context window minus output reserve). Fixed: compaction now only triggers when
total > compactionThreshold(~140K), not at the tail budget (80K).Fresh eval results (CM-1, 400K inflation, head-to-head)
Lore's advantage is on mid-session details (decision alternatives, exact error messages, rejected approaches) that compaction summarizes away through repeated compression cycles.
